And cases are still on the rise:

I’ve underestimated how nice it is not to be bothered by notifications. Yes, I’ve quit more than just Twitter and things are a lot more pleasant now. WOULD RECOMMEND.

UK cases of COVID-19: still high, still killing almost 1,000 Brits per week

Last Monday

This Monday

ith over 15,000 COVID-19 patients in hospitals and over 2,000 new hospitalisations per day let’s remember that COVID-19 is still right here, right now. Yes, not just in wintertime.

The number of new cases speaks for itself.

I’ve just left the house and got back within less than an hour. I went around town. A lot of people aren’t wearing masks — barely anyone still does — and they wrongly assume that getting infected won’t be doing any real damage. This is a dangerous and erroneous assumption. I know this from people whom I personally speak to and have been infected.

The Borisnaro regime is a bunch of COVIDiots, who put the interests of the “business class” ahead of everybody else’s.

Using Russia and Ukraine to change the subject is becoming an outdated tactic by now. It’s likely that Russia and Ukraine will negotiate for a ceasefire to be reached. You cannot negotiate ceasefires with infectious viruses. They attack again and again. Being infected does not mean “being done with it”…

daily update is likely to follow for weeks to come. This is an important subject because the regime of Borisnaro wants to just “wish away” coronavirus with its latest variants, as if when we “ask nicely” or “act tough” it will magically disappear.

But viruses do not work this way. Maybe Borisnaro thinks it’s OK for everyone to just get infected. Over and over again (like some of my colleagues). That’s just a radical, not just misguided, ideology/approach.

Yesterday’s report reveals highest number since 26-01-2022. There are now over 14,000 COVID patients in hospitals, compared to about 10,000 before restrictions were lifted and safeguards discarded. In terms of cases, we’re seeing the highest levels in about 2 months as well.

Update: Today we had 90,349 more cases confirmed, so it is the worst Friday in months. The latest number of hospitalisations (17-03-2022) rose to 14,671 (net increase of more than 400 in one day; up from 14,264) and the latest admissions figure (14-03-2022), 1,900, is the worst in 2 month.

REAL WAR is happening, but the war on a pandemic has been put on the back-burner as if the newer war (in Ukraine) somehow ‘supersedes’ it.

New COVID-19 cases reported so far this week in the UK:

Today (Wednesday): 91,345
Tuesday: 109,802
Monday: 170,985

Bear in mind these figures include the weekend’s backlog as well (our regime has apparently decided that NHS no longer needs to report these every day, perpetuating the lie that it had solved the problem), I still need to go back to early January to find comparable numbers.

Even putting aside cases (and backlogs), let’s examine the data from hospitals. COVID-19 patients in hospital, by date:

15-03-2022: 14,078 (+481)
14-03-2022: 13,597 (+739)
13-03-2022: 12,858 (+366)
12-03-2022: 12,492 (+311)
11-03-2022: 12,181 (+161)
10-03-2022: 12,020 (+183)
09-03-2022: 11,837 (+101)
08-03-2022: 11,736

The rise is non-linear. The way things are going, there will need to be some restrictions on distance, mandatory masks etc. We’ve not solved the problem. The hospitals being filled up by COVID-19 patients isn’t just bad for old and vulnerable people with “underlying conditions” but for every person who may need a hospital bed, including young persons.

Notice the surge (52.4% increase in the past 7 days alone):

Hospitalisations follow, so this isn’t benign or something we can conveniently ignore:
